Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Plenty of superhero movies are happy to invert the classic tropes of right and wrong, resulting in some villains that are hard not to root for. From the tonal rollercoaster of the original Batman quadrilogy to the consistent quality of the films of the MCU, superhero movies often rely on their antagonists just as much as their heroes.
Even within the context of the film, many of the antagonists standing in the Suicide Squad's way are empathetic characters to some degree in their own right. Despite being a starfish kaiju the size of a building, Starro simply wanted a peaceful life floating in space before it was taken from him, making his wanton rampage understandable following his brutal imprisonment. This is a true testament to James Gunn's ability to humanize even the most bizarre of comic book characters.
9 Joker Peered Beneath The Makeup Of DC's Most Insidious Villain Close Joker Superhero Action Adventure Crime Film Noir Thriller Directed by Todd Phillips, Joker is an origin story for Batman’s most iconic villain. Arthur Fleck is a down-on-his-luck clown who is trying to become a successful stand-up comedian. When things don’t go according to plan, and Arthur feels Gotham is oppressing him and others with mental illness, Arthur sparks a violent revolution within the city.
8 Captain America: Civil War Baron Zemo Had A Point Close Captain America: Civil War Sci-Fi Thriller Action This third Captain America film adapts the "Civil War" storyline from Marvel Comics and sees Steve Rogers and Tony Stark at an impasse over who governs superheroes and how. Captain America: Civil War pits two teams of Avengers against one another and introduces new superheroes Black Panther and Spider-Man.
Director Ryan Coogler Release Date February 16, 2018 Cast Chadwick Boseman , Lupita Nyong'o , Letitia Wright , Angela Bassett , Winston Duke , Michael B. Jordan , Danai Gurira , Forest Whitaker Runtime 134 Minutes One of the most beloved villains in the entire MCU, Erik Killmonger is one of the most justifiable villains in the franchise.
Pushed to her death by Max Shreck after stumbling upon his plans to siphon energy from Gotham, Selina Kyle vowed revenge, only working with the Penguin to get closer to Shreck and get even once and for all. In this regard, Catwoman is more of a vigilante like Batman than a supervillain, albeit a far deadlier one. It doesn't hurt that her impressive whip skills, scintillating suit and playful romance with Batman make her all the more fun to watch.
4 Megamind Inverted Classic Superhero Tropes Close One of the greatest Dreamworks films ever made, Megamind is all about flipping the roles of hero and villain in a superhero setting. A stereotypical representation of the genius alien supervillain a la Superman's Braniac, Megamind finds himself achieving an unexpected victory, only to accidentally create a new villain in an attempt to give himself a rival.
The first Avengers movie needed a threat worthy of calling together the superhero team for the first time, and Thor's tyrannical half-brother was the perfect candidate. Acquiring a powerful Infinity Stone and amassing a terrifying army of Chitauri warriors, Loki's ambition and egotistical visions of world domination make him a worthy villain for the Avengers' first team-up.
